Turn 10 Days of Stampede Into 365 Days of Customer Relationships Through Smart CRM
The Calgary Stampede 2025 (July 4-13) presents significant business opportunities. Discover how custom CRM solutions enable Calgary companies to capture leads and drive sales at major events.

Calgary Stampede 2025
The Calgary Stampede 2025 takes place from July 4 to 13, attracting thousands of visitors to our city for "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth." This 10-day event provides Calgary businesses with an exceptional opportunity to meet new customers and expand their business.
But here's the challenge: with so many people and so little time, how do you keep track of everyone you meet? How do you turn those quick conversations into real customers? The answer is simple: you need a smart Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.
Why Stampede Season is Perfect for Building Your Customer List
Think about what happens during Stampede week:
- Tons of people visit Calgary - locals and tourists from around the world
- Everyone is in a good mood - people are relaxed and ready to spend money
- Businesses get noticed - your booth or store gets more visitors than usual
- Limited time - you only have 10 days to make the most of it
This is where a good CRM system becomes your secret weapon.
What is a CRM System? (And Why You Need One)
A CRM system is like having a super-smart assistant that never forgets. It helps you:
- Remember every person you meet
- Keep track of what they're interested in
- Send them the right messages at the right time
- Turn visitors into paying customers
Research shows that 47% of businesses say CRM systems have a huge impact on making customers happy. Even better, companies using CRM see 29% more sales and get 32% better at predicting what customers will buy.

Smart Ways to Use CRM During Stampede 2025
1. Easy Lead Capture
Set up simple ways to collect visitor information:
- QR codes that people can scan with their phones
- Digital sign-up forms on tablets at your booth
- Business card scanners that save contact info instantly
2. Personal Messages That Work
Your CRM can send different messages to different people. For example:
- Families get info about kid-friendly products
- Tourists get special "Calgary memories" offers
- Local customers get ongoing deals
3. Track What's Working
See which visitors are most interested in your products. Your CRM shows you:
- Who opened your emails
- Which products got the most questions
- What times of day do you get the most visitors
4. Follow Up After Stampede
The real magic happens after Stampede ends. Your CRM can:
- Send thank-you messages to everyone who visited
- Offer special deals to people who have shown interest
- Keep in touch with customers throughout the year
Real Success Story: How One Calgary Business Doubled Its Sales

- Saved 10 hours per week on manual follow-up work
The owner said, "Our CRM system was like having three extra employees. It never forgot a name, never missed a follow-up, and helped us stay connected with customers all year long."
